Since its establishment, the Canadian Federation of University Women Calgary North has served as a vibrant community hub for women in Calgary, AB who are passionate about fellowship, education, and social justice. We are a multicultural group of like-minded women who gather not only for professional development and self-improvement, but to build lasting friendships and create tangible positive change in our communities. Our welcoming approach means that while we value post-secondary education, we welcome all women who share our commitment to advancing women's rights and supporting vulnerable populations, particularly children. What sets CFUW Calgary North apart is our integrated approach to community engagement. Members enjoy the camaraderie of specialized interest groups—ranging from book clubs and hiking to advocacy work and study groups—while simultaneously contributing to meaningful causes. We've supported homeless populations through clothing and meal donations, provided pneumonia prevention vests for premature babies in Africa and India, and partnered with local organizations like the Women's Centre of Calgary and CUPS preschool. As part of the broader Canadian Federation of University Women and an affiliate of Graduate Women International, our Calgary North chapter members also have a voice in national and international conversations on women's rights and human rights. By joining us in Calgary, AB, you become part of a legacy of women working together to build a more just and equitable society.

Babae - Council of Filipina Canadian Women was established on September 17, 2003, by a dedicated group of women in Calgary, AB who recognized the need to build community and support among Filipina-Canadian women. What began as an informal network of professionals working in immigrant services evolved into a formal organization with a clear mission: to raise the status of Filipina-Canadian women in Canadian society. The founding members brought rich experience from grassroots social work in the Philippines, and they carried that commitment to community building with them when they immigrated to Alberta. Today, Babae stands as a bridge between newly arrived immigrants and established community resources, with members serving as liaisons, consultants, and advocates who understand both the Filipino and Canadian contexts. The organization's heart lies in its cultural authenticity—encouraging the use of Filipino language in all interactions—which helps dissolve barriers and reduce stigma around accessing services. By connecting Filipina-Canadian women with culturally sensitive support in their mother language, Babae empowers them to successfully integrate while maintaining their identity and contributing their talents to Calgary's diverse society. The organization remains deeply rooted in its founding principle that community building is a personal mission, creating spaces where Filipina-Canadian women can develop leadership, share expertise, and thrive as valued members of their families, workplaces, schools, and communities.
